You don't have to say you love me Just be close at hand You don't have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
Timothy placed the Sorting Hat and a stool out carefully and then unfurled a scroll he had under one arm. He started reading off names, waiting for each student to come up to place the hat on their head. Thus, the Sorting had started.

Danielle could feel the nervousness bubbling inside of her stomach. She couldn't have been more excited, and more terrified, at this moment. In a few moments some old hat would decide where she would be for the next seven years. She wondered if it was this nerve racking for everyone who got up here. The worst part was she really had no idea where she would be placed. For most of the MacEacharins it had been no surprise, everyone seemed to fit rather perfectly. Dani wasn't sure she could fit perfectly anywhere she was put. She was open to the idea of most of the houses though, just probably not Slytherin. She was probably just prejudice though. They couldn't all be bad. Hopefully. She breathed deeply and tried to think of good things. Her mind immediately went to her parents, as most always. She hardly remembered them but it couldn't make her more happy. She knew they would be proud no matter what house she got put in and that somehow made it all the better.

I also don't always use my head and like to rush into many things, I guess you could say I'm brave...or maybe just a little clueless. Oh well I like myself.

[feeling: traumatized] [thinking: my shoes... are squeaking...] [with: crowd] [at: Sorting]
Eleazar had mostly dried off inside the warm castle, except that his shoes were still wet and squelchy, and they squeaked every time he took a step. And when the hall was silent as you stepped up to be sorted, especially if you were one of the first since your surname began with a B, squeaking shoes were not welcome. At all. He could just see the smirks on the twins's faces without even looking. Staring at the floor, he trudged up as slowly as he dared to be Sorted, and prayed to whatever gods there might be that he wasn't in Gryffindor, where he'd be taken under Toby's wing, which he didn't really want because frankly, his older brother was sort of a git, or in Hufflepuff, where he'd be with Uriel, who he was still annoyed with, and Jess, whom would probably devote herself to constantly playing tricks on him. The other two houses were looking like paradise right now, even if he got stuck in Slytherin. He shuffled onto the stool and squeezed his eyes shut tightly as the hat went on his head.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm awkward, clumsy, nerdy, and a bit weird. According to my siblings, anyway. I tend to put my foot in my mouth a lot, and have a habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I'm absolutely horrible at stuff like making small talk and introducing myself to new people. I also happen to be a klutz. Everywhere I go, disasters happen. Like that one time with the TV- Actually, let's not talk about that. My magic shows up at the WORST POSSIBLE TIMES, and that's just makes me even more nervous when I'm out in public. And I have to admit that I am a nerd. I really like reading, and studying, and doing well in school. It's a pretty big part of my personality. Sometimes I get a bit embarrassed about it. My brothers and sisters love to tease me, because I'm easily aggravated and really self conscious. Supposedly I'm also weird. I don't what specifically makes me weird in other people's eyes, but I just am.
One day I had a dream. I tried to chase it. But it wasn't going anywhere.
I used to be the kid that no one cared about That's why you have to keep screaming till they hear you out For a sec I even gave up believing and praying They say that money is the root to the evilest ways
But have you ever been so hungry it keeps you awake? Mate, now my hunger would leave them amazed Great, it feels like a long time coming Since the day I thought of that cunning plan

I know we got it good, but they got it made, And their grass is getting greener each day, I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down, Before anybody's knowing our name
Kenneth was a bit worried about the sorting, like his wand he really did not get a say where he was going into. That was the one thing he did not like about magic nothing felt in his control like when he made grass grow inside a building. He did not want it to happen it just sort of did. Kenny fingered the ring he held around his neck and when his name was called he moved to the stool. He wondered what his parents would say if he got into the wrong house was there even a wrong house. Jer was a slytherin but last time he saw his orphan brother he made his robes more blue like the ravenclaws, His cousin was in Hufflepuff but did Kenny really want to go there ugh this was so confusing he did not know where he would fit in. He guessed that's the exact reason why they had the hat it was hard deciding where you'll be the next seven years of your life. He sat down and waited for the hat to be placed on his head.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm caring to my family, mistrustful to others mostly to adults. My mind tends to think on how best to steal things, I'm not greedy or anything, I think. I just like taking trophies and mementos things to remind me of the past. Though I do like the thrill of you get when your going to steal something and the satisfaction of getting away with it. That does not make me a bad person does it? I tend to keep to myself when I'm not with my brothers or sisters and I'm pretty quiet...

Nyx walked up to the sorting hat and bit her lip as she carefully picked it up, it looked like it would fall apart at any moment, it would be just her luck to be the one to actually do it when she touched it. She took a deep breath and carefully sat the hat on her head, and then sat on the stool as she closed her eyes. What would happen? Where would she be placed? Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff? Slytherin or Gryffindor? She didn't have the slightest clue really, and that not knowing bothered her more than anything she thought. Well, this was the moment of truth, she just hoped the hat didn't say something like she didn't belong here. That would be mortifying.

Rory walked up through the large doors of Hogwarts and the equally humongous doors of the Great Hall. She listened with a half ear to the Deputy Headmaster as he explained what they were about to do and felt her eyes bug out when he did indeed mention putting on a hat. A hat?! Of all the stupid, whimsical, nonsensical things ever was that she was about to be judged by an accessory! She wanted to laugh and rant at the same time but she felt that that was something not done. Eh, but when did she ever care? When her name was called she jumped to attention having been daydreaming for a brief stint before walking calmly over to the stool and straddling it slightly like she would a bike before finding a comfortable position. As the hat finally began its decent Rory allowed a bubble of laugh ter to erupt from her before falling silent again.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm loud. Like really really loud, but I've learned to taper it a bit. My Da said I'm a little sneak for the way I would manipulate my babysitters (if you could really call half those roadies "sitters") to let me go to his shows but I think I'm rather resourceful. A lot actually, I figured out how to fix my broken ax with only a strap of leather and duct tape. I also have this horrible disease that won't let me take no for an answer, it's sometimes gets me into trouble but most of the time it just gets me the best results: the ones I want.

From the outside, the place looked like any old haunted palace. From the inside... Nothing much different. The architecture wasn't really her taste. But, nevertheless, Hogwarts was Hogwarts, and this would be the start of a new adventure. Yvonne glanced at her dad who sat amongst the many other professors, and sat down on the stool where the place would be placed on her, then speak of her destiny. She didn't think she was going to Hufflepuff, at least...
Quote:
Outwardly, Yvonne keeps up the "sweet and cute girl" facade. Deep down, in a sense, she just wants to see the world burn. Call it evil, it's more the childish side of the girl that is slowly crawling and poking its way to the surface. Pranks are her friends, especially those that involve trickery. After all, there is nothing more fun than convincing someone that a bottle of hot sauce was tomato juice. Yvonne is impatient and possesses a small temper, but nevertheless holds deep ambitions, such as becoming "the most powerful witch ever to walk on land." Driven by the desire to be the best of the best, she wouldn't mind using methods that are slightly questionable. And if caught, there is always that "sweet little smile" that can aid her.

Where•The Great Hall With•Everyone! So many people! Feeling•Excited, Doubting, Confused Thinking•We just have to wear a hat?
Tyson stared as Professor Steele read names off, holding a hat. "So wait.. all we have to do is wear a hat?"He said doubtfully. How would a hat show them where they belonged? He looked at his brothers' his doubt showing on his face. Turning back to the front, he waited to see how it would decide on the sorting... and where each student would go. "Whatever happens, we will still be there for each other, right guys?"he said glancing at his brothers again.
Finally fitting in, no longer turned away Finally fitting in, with a world my own

Out of Character•People say that, in a nutshell, I'm Intelligent and slightly closed minded, he has a hard time seeing things from other's perspectives. He is a perfectionist and must have everything how it is supposed to be. He hates messes and disorganization. He is very motivated and ambitious, no one can push him off a path once he set out on it. He is a hard worker, very effective and focused. But he can get rather snappy when things don't go his way or mess up. He is very assertive and shoves himself into situations that always don't need his input. He will lie to protect himself or get what he wants, unless it puts his siblings at risk.

Unsorted First Year
So all the had to do was wear a hat? Thank goodness. Wren waited his turn, applauding each sort before him heartily. As his name was called he strode confidently over to the stool. But as he sat down he realized his cat Fiora was still perched perfectly on top of his head, where the hat was supposed to go. His hands instantly flew up to free her and rest her in his lap, however she dug her claws in, refusing to budge. As he struggled with her he felt the pressure of the whole hall waiting for him. "I'm sorry sir, it seems my cat would like to be sorted as well." Wren apologized to the Deputy Headmaster standing beside him but loud enough for all to hear, hoping they'd at least get a laugh from this awkward pause. He whispered appeasingly to Fiora, trying to move his lips as little as possible, "Even if the hat did sort you, what would you do if we ended up in different houses?" He felt the grip of her claws loosen and finally got her down. What a way to start. He scratched Fiora behind the ears in thanks for her cooperation.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm a friendly kid; I get along with most people. They say I've got a 'big brother' kind of vibe - kids from my class would come to me when they were having a bad day. But I'm nice because I'm honest and reasonable - I'm not the type to say whatever you want to hear. It takes a lot of patience to look for wildlife too - every time I try to get some one else to do it with me they get bored and scare all the animals away. Even worse are the ones who want to hurt them. I've been called protective - I like to stand up for whoever's at a disadvantage and keep the peace. Whether it's the new kid vs. the bobcat or the ant vs. the bully with the magnifying glass. There's a natural instict between people and beasts to fight, but it can be shut down if you know how to communicate with eachother.

Alice Lancaster Unsorted First Year Seer
Location: Great Hall
Alice did let go of Jasper's hand until her name was called. Slowly she walked up and took her sat on the stool. As the sorting hat was placed on her head she looked at Jasper wondering if she were placed somewhere different from him if he would think of her differently. The thought worried her a little but then she quickly dismissed the thought from her mind. 'It doesn't matter where I'm placed everyone will be proud of me no matter what.' she thought confidently as she awaited the sorting hat's decision.

They also say I have a spaced out look most of the time like I’m not even in the here and now.
Jasper watched as Alice got sorted into her house, giving her a bright smile as she headed to her table and took a seat. Then his name was called and that's when he began to worry. Being separated from Alice would torture him. Shaking the fear he walked up to the stool and sat down. There was no sense panicking over something that hadn't happened yet. 'Please put me with Alice... Please I beg you...' he pleaded to the hat in his head. If only it would listen.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm very quiet, calm, kind, polite, brave and simply a good person. I always seem to be depressed unless Alice is around and I often act more open when I’m around her. I can also be very protective sometimes being a bit overprotective when it comes to Alice. I also am said to have a sharp mind probably one of the reasons why I like challenging puzzles and chess. Then again it could just explain why my head is usually in a book. I constantly have to learn new things even if it happens to be a new language. My emotions are also very susceptible to the emotions of others. Oh and Alice’s says I have trust issues.

When her name was called, it took 'Romellier, Anastasia' a little while to notice. Going up to the chair, the blonde passed the boy who'd to be sorted with his cat, grinning good-naturedly at him. It was funny, and it served to break at least a little of the tension away from the little gaggle of first-years ready to be sorted. Sitting properly on said rickety stool-- there were a lot of people in Hogwarts, she noticed-- the girl waited until the hat was atop her head, awaiting its judgement, which would place her where she was to be, and her family for the next seven years of her life.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm quirky! I like to talk, though I’m a bit shy at first. I mean, you never know if you’re just going to instantly piss someone off the minute you open your mouth. So, I just tend to shh and stay quiet until people talk to me. Then I open up and start talking. I talk about a lot of things, big things and small and sometimes not at all, you know? I don’t like being held back and I don’t like just giving up! I’ll never give up on something if it’s important to me. I suppose that’s something about me- - - persistence and all. I'm nice, I really am. But not always. I don't mind stooping down to a few less savoury methods to get what I want. I mean, all of the people in the family sort of had to use all our resources to get as much as we could. I know how to get what I want and I'm not hesitant in using it! A girl can only be so cute, after all, and being nice all the time isn't as easy as it looks! I can be selfish, and I usually am, though I make exceptions for a few people. It's a part of everyone, isn't it? Being selfish, I mean. I really like my stuff. I dislike, very, very much, when I don't get what I want. I'll do anything to get it. That's all there is to it. I do care about the people important to me, so I can push my own wants to the side for them once in a while, but if I don't like you, I really don't care, you know? I'll be kind, of course. I don't like getting mad. If I don't like you, then I don't! But I will be nice. I'm a jealous person- - - I don't appreciate when people mess with what I like, you know? Watching people's reactions is so interesting for me too- - - it's a lot of fun, manipulating things so they go my way. I'll take advantage of anything if it means I get what I want, I'm not afraid to admit it. It's a cruel world and you do what it takes to live and live with a bit of fun. I'm very self-oriented. Self-loving, self-centered, self-absorbed, self-aware, self-confident, self-preserving and all those wonderful things. I think what's worrying about me is that I'm perfectly fine with doing these things. I don't feel guilty. I'll wear a sincere smile on my face making a friend and wear one too while ripping into a disliked acquaintance.

Ashley heard his name and stepped forward. His head held high, he felt the hat descend onto his head, all the while thinking this was an interesting event. Now, if only it sent him where he belonged, this hat.

However, I do happen to have a bit of an open mind, well, open enough to think on new ideas, so I can possibly accept new things, they just have to interest me is all.

All your purposes are gone, nothing’s Right and nothing’s wrong Nothing ventured, nothing gained Feel no sorrow, feel no pain
xxxxLexine drew in a very deep breath when she entered the hall, so big and filled with all her fellow students. As she stood alongside all the other First Years, she gradually got scared...what if no one in her house liked her? Of course she knew that this was a silly, childish thought, but she couldn't help it...what else was she supposed to think? All the worst possibilities started filling her head. Her mind was so cluttered with thoughts that she nearly didn't hear her name called. When it was, she drew in a sharp breath. Her head high and her eyes wide with excitement, but also fear, she walked up to the stool. Sitting down, she settled herself in the uncomfortable seat and looked over the Great Hall...there was a lot of students at Hogwarts... Biting down on her lip, she drew in another deep breath as she felt the hat being lowered onto her head, thoughts still racing through her head.

People say that, in a nutshell, I'm quite a ditz, none of my thoughts ever in the same place, and sometimes I just randomly blurt out things having nothing to do with the conversation, and usually pretty useless information. I'm very good at remembering information easily, although I often remember the pointless information and frustrate myself when taking exams. I'm often told that I'm good-natured, as I'm usually very nice to people and I can't say I have a lot of enemies. Patience also comes with that. I could probably wait years for someone and still be happy if they came back 20 years from when they said they would. I'm rather creative, often coming up with silly things and talking of amazing things that may never even happy. I'm really into fantasy and usually read silly muggle novels. I often ignore comments about me because I don't care what others believe of me. Even with that, if someone is being extremely rude to me or my friends, I'd always be the one to stand up for them, never afraid of what I have to face. I'm often very quiet, though, not one to stand up and talk to someone if I didn't know them (apart from standing up for someone). I wouldn't start a random conversation with someone because I wouldn't know what to say. Although I will be very polite to those around me I wouldn't speak, usually letting them speak first of uttering a quiet "Hello" and let them continue the discussion. I'm very awkward around adults considering I'll often stick my foot in my mouth when talking to them, even though I don't know why. Sometimes this just happens when I talking to someone a few years older than me, as well. I'm often told that I'm very wise for my age. I don't talk like a typical eleven year old, and I never really have. I'm a quick learner, but I can't stand reading text books often getting bored easily or even falling asleep (which is awful with my studying habits).

The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... An interesting person, I see. Impatient and reckless, Loves to do your own thing and aren't always agreeable, I think I know the perfect place for you... Slytherin!
