McGonagall comes out of the Great Hall and she opens her mouth to say something but stops when she notices the ghosts. Perhaps it had been too much to hope that they would leave the first years alone until they had been sorted. "Move along," she says sharply. "The Sorting Ceremony is about to start." The ghosts glance at her, and a few bow, while others nod. One by one, they start floating away, and into the opposite wall. Once sure that they were all gone, she turns to the first years. "Now, form a line, and follow me." Minerva walks out of the chamber and leads the first year past a pair of double doors and straight into the Great Hall. As the children look around and awe, she wonders which of the new students will help her win the house cup from Slytherin. She hopes that this year they don't suffer another bitter defeat. It's about time she sees the face of disgust on Severus' face once Gryffindor wins. She stops in front of the staff table, where a four-legged stool stands, and sitting on the stool was a raggedy, brown wizard's hat. It stands there in complete silence for a few minutes, and then it twitches. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth, and it begins to sing. When it was over, McGonagall appeared with a long scroll in her hand, and started calling names.

(pokes the chat I have returned from eternal damnation distraction, and I’ll just re-roll the ball by responding with Amethyst)

Amethyst stood in line with the other first-years, watching them be sorted and waiting for her turn. She fixed her hair and adjusted her glasses about a million times over. It was obvious that she was excited and terrified at the same time. Then, she finally heard her name called.

“Knight, Amethyst!”

She made her way up to the Sorting Hat, looking down and avoiding eye contact with anybody. She sat down on the stool and closed her eyes as the hat was set on her head. After a few moments, her house is decided…

“HUFFLEPUFF!”

She looked up to see the Hufflepuff table erupting with cheers, and jogged over to them as soon as the hat was taken off of her head.

Ariadne raised her head when the hat yelled Hufflepuff for….what was the name again? Ah, yes, Amethyst Knight. She watched as a mousy-looking girl with black hair jogged over to the Hufflepuff table. She watched as students around Amethyst welcomed her to the house of the badgers, and Ariadne merely nodded at her. She would have time later to introduce herself properly to Knight. Then her sister Calliope was called up and was placed in Slytherin, and the sorting ceremony continued, until it was finally over, and they were allowed to eat.

(fun fact, i actually have an hp oc with the last name Knight)

Abraham heard the distant voices from the sorting ceremony and chuckled a bit. He was excited for his friend to transfer to this school so that he could watch her be sorted. He was sure that she would be a Gryffindor. As he rounded the corner to go up the enchanted staircase, he ran straight into someone.
