Hadrian Sharr ;; 12 ;; Slytherin ;; Great Hall ;; Tagged- Swifteekl

Hadrian noticed that the first girl that went up seemed to be extremely nervous, and he understood why, although he himself wouldn't really feel nervous, personally. All of the gazes of everyone in the giant hall turned onto the little girl at once, and she seemed to quiver as she sat on the stool, and the hat was dropped onto her head, obscuring her visage. As a second ticked by, Hadrian heard a voice pipe up close to him, and judging by how he also felt eyes on the side of his face, the female whom had spoke was speaking directly to him. Although he was a boy who tended to observe things and go out by himself, exploring and doing his own thing, he recognized the fact that having friends would...be fun? Would help? He didn't know...talking to this girl wouldn't hurt, regardless. As long as she wasn't like his cousin, a weak boy in his Fourth year that always wanted to talk trash and play Quidditch, he'd speak.

"Hi," He spoke up quietly, golden eyes glancing over as the Hat called out 'Hufflepuff'. "I'm Hadrian Sharr." He offered a hand, like his father taught him.

"Oh, well, my name's Michael, I think. Your name is?" The young boy said in a semi-frightened tone. He was a bit nervous about the sorting. What if he didn't even get into a house, and they sent him back to where he lived? Although his parents were very loving people, he was looking forward to spending his teenage years here. He wouldn't want to go back to his boring little hometown.

Zoe laughed because he hadn't seemed to hear her say her name but she didn't mind and she also laughed a little when he said 'I think' and then she answered his question "Nice to meet you Michael, I'm Zoe!" she said with a friendly smile,she hoped he wasn't frightened of her because he sounded it in his tone but Zoe decided it was probably just his nerves and then she turned completely around so that she was facing him and not just her head,she still had a smile on her face as she looked at Michael whilst partially listening to the hat sorting out the other children from the first years.She liked Michael because he seemed nice,he would make a great friend Zoe had also now decided.Zoe was happy to now be sorted because she didn't have the stress of wondering if she wouldn't be put in a house and just be a disappointment to herself and her family because she hadn't been good enough and had to be sent home but luckily enough that hadn't happened and she was now happily sat at the Gryffindor table with a smile on her face!

xxxxxxxxTim's stomach dropped as he came to the startling realization. They were going by alphabetical order. He was clearly uncomfortable, squirming in line and trying not to seem nervous. It was now he missed the warmth of home, the happy faces and warm smells of bacon in the morning and the chirping of birds outside his window. He wondered how he found himself as a wizard in a world he was always told didn't exist, standing in a line of kids, some like him. Most of them just as uncomfortable as he was. He wondered maybe if it was a mistake to come. Tim felt uneasy as he watched the other kids, one by one, get sorted into their respective houses. Led to their tables, encouraged by their own houses. And his eyes widened at the sound of his own name. "Timothy Bennett." The firm voice of the headmistress called. His stomach dropped, and he stepped forward, forcing himself with each step to walk to the stool.

Swifteekl had been gazing up at at the front as a girl nervously approached the steps, walking up and sitting on the stool. She seemed very nervous, and while Swifteekl couldn't blame her, she couldn't really sympathize with her either. Almost, if not every eye was on her, as the room hushed save for a few imperceptible whispers, before the girl was announced as a Hufflepuff. Glancing back at the boy, she was kind of surprised he had acknowledged her at all. Stretching out her own arm, she took his hand, shaking it. How gentlemanly. "Swifteekl Malfoy." She returned, having to stop herself from saying Musinfox, so used to going by that name. Tuning back in to the names being called, she waited her own to be said, so she could find out what house she was to be sorted into. "Looking forward to any house in particular?" She asked Hadrian, sparing another glance at him as she spoke. She noted a boy named Timothy go up, and also noted if they had been aiming for alphabetical order, they had skipped a few.

aileen smiled amiably at the polite young boy, james, she believed, then gave a small wave to andi. "I'm Aileen," she tilted her head slightly as she absentmindedly fiddled with her wand and tugged on her pockets. As the young girl asked her a question, Aileen paused for a moment. "Well, ideally I'd like to be in Gryffindor," the preteen answered after about two seconds chewing her lip in thought. "How about you two?" Aileen looked from one twin (or so she supposed, they really did look identical to the young girl) to the other, taking in how different yet the same, the two looked. James had a more calm and serious manner to him, though there was definitely a spark of friendly humor in his eyes. Andi had a slight dreamy look, with a dash of mischeviousness and wit. She knew that she liked the sound of both of them already, Aileen thought to herself.

The observant pre teen gazed in wonder at the decor of the ancient castle. The high ceilings reflected the night sky as chandeliers glowed brightly. Dishes popped out, one by one on the huge polished tables. It truly was a work of architecture, Alden thought to himself in amazement as he tried to suck in every detail with his eyes. All banners from the four houses looked splendid to him- but the blue and gold raven stood out to Alden the most. The beautiful tapestry from the house of knowledge called the pre teen the most out of the four. The people in that House didn't seem so bad either- they surveyed the first years with knowing and analytical eyes- as if they knew who'd join them already. That quiet knowledge in those knowing eyes calmed the nervous first year down slightly. But his thoughts were soon silenced by the quirky song from the tattered old Sorting Hat. The tattered brim widened and formed a slightly unnerving smile as it began to sing. "Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a steady mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind." At that point, the young boy could have sworn that the hat winked briefly at him. Gesturing towards the nearest person towards him, a young lass by the name of Sarah Watt, he pointed at the sorting hat and grinned. "Ravenclaw sounds fantastic, doesn't it?"

The girl jumped slightly as a boy behind her addressed her, snapping Sarah out of her daze. She had been listening intently to the words being spoken, practically oblivious to the world around her, so it took her a bit to gather her bearings. "It does, doesn't it?" She wispered back, giving him a friendly smile, "Although I don't think I would be smart enough to be in that house, after reading Hogwarts; a history" She continued. Then again, she thought, your not brave, ambitious, or kind like the other houses she thought to herself. Maybe you don't fit in anywhere? She wondered, causing her nerves to flare up again. "Oh don't be so stupid Sarah" She muttered to herself, "I'm sure you'll fit in somewhere" She finished, before realising she had spoken aloud and added a quick "Sorry - just nervous" To the boy. Probably thinks I'm a nutcase she thought, before returning her eyes to the front.

alden nodded, a grin forming on his face. "hey, I've read 'hogwarts, a history' too!" he said, but faltered as sarah's mood seemed to dip. "hey, you seem brilliant to me," the preteen whispered in an attempt to lighten up the girl's mood. When that didn't really seem to work, he decided to admit something: "hey, I talk to myself too, sometimes, so if we're crazy then at least we're crazy together." He offered a small smile. To be honest, the boy did think she would fit into Ravenclaw- girl had the same quiet and calm authority in her eyes, practically like the ravenclaws, and the way she was surveying everything showed she was quite a observant person.

xxxxxxxxHe sat uncomfortably on the stool. McGonagall smiled warmly at him, but Tim couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew she'd likely seen this situation many, many times, but that thought didn't help much for his mind. The hat was placed on his head. It prattled on and on about his creativity, speaking words that he truly couldn't comprehend that well, though he wouldn't admit it. Tim found himself entranced in his own nervousness, and had barely realized when the hat asked him a question. "Boy, you think too much. I ask, what do you value about yourself?" It repeated. He paused for a moment, having to think deeply about this. Coming to his conclusion, Tim answered, "They say I am smart." The hat laughed, and he could feel the vibrations on his head. "Good choice. Ravenclaw." The hat spoke, and he could see the cheering Ravenclaws at their own table. It was removed from his head, and he slid off of the stool, walking over rather nervously to the table of his house.

"I'm guessing Gryffindor is the house you wanted to be sorted in? Well, great job being sorted into it, I guess!" He exclaimed, laughing a little. At this point, he heard his name being called. His full name, which he hated, to be honest. Whatever. He waved a farewell to Zoe, and walked off towards the stool slowly, as to try to not be sorted for the longest amount of time possible. He sat down eventually, shakily placing the hat on his head, which draped over his eyes. The sorting hat said he seemed like a good fit for every house but Gryffindor, which he secretly cursed at. His only friend, if he could call it that, was in Gryffindor. Eventually, the sorting hat reached a decision.
"Hufflepuff!"
Hufflepuff was his first choice of house. He was ecstatic, pulling the sorting hat off and running towards the table, leaping into a chair near the Hufflepuff house's seating. A big grin was seated on his face as he turned towards Zoe, yelling something about getting into his first choice of house.
