Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ziroshi Takashi
House Wanted: Ravenclaw
House You Got: Hufflepuff

Ziroshi lifted his head when he heard the teacher call his name. He really didn't know what house he wanted, but Ravenclaw was the house with the smartest kids, so that would have been nice. The only thing he knew, was he was glad that he wouldn't get Slytherin, because his parents were muggles.

When he got up and the teacher set the cap on his head, it fell down, and rested on the bridge of his nose. With the hat on his head, he started thinking of what house he fit into and came up with nothing. It won't be Gryffindor because I'm not brave. And it wouldn't be ravenclaw, because I'm not book smart. I would stick up for anyone, but I don't usually talk to people, so I doubt Hufflepuff. And my parents are muggles so it wouldnt be Slytherin.

The hat was silent for a long time, occasionly muttering some of his characteristics. 5 minuits after the hat was put on his head, he began joking around with himself about how the hat must be making a new house just for him.

When Finally the hat shouted: HUFFLEPUFF and he heard one of the middle tables burst out in aplause. As the hat was taken off of him, he walked over to one of the more empty sections of the Hufflepuff table and sat down.

Name: Katherine Destiny Portsmith
House Wanted: Gryffindor
House You Got: Gryffindor

Katherine glided into the great hall along with the other first year students. Glancing around, her eyes went to every table. The Slytherins looked mean, and the others didn't catch her interest, well except for Gryffindor. She loved their colros and a few of them were actually laughing. Smiling, her eyes went to the stool sitting up on the stairs leading to the longest table in the room.

She brushed some blond hair out of her face, deciding that she needed to dye it black or brown. Her eyes stayed focused on the stool as student after student went up. Alphabetical order, she noted as her name was called. Skipping over to the stool, she sat down and smiled at the teacher who had brought them in. AS the hat was placed on her head, she made the effort to make sure it knew she wanted Gryffindor.

After it listed many of her defaults and quirks to her, in her head, it seemed to finally make a decision. Or it came close to one. It seemed to be trying to decide between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. After about five minutes, it shouted out its final answer. "GRYFFINDOR!" Many Gryffindors clapped for the new recruit, while others just ignored it. Getting off the stool, she set the hat on her recently vacated seat and joined her new house. She made sure to sit herself with a huge crowd, wanting to know everything there was about the place she would call home.

Name: Alice Brooks
House Wanted: Slytherin
House You Got: Slytherin

Alice quietly approached the sorting hat as her name was called. Like the other first years, she was nervous, although for different reasons. Taking a seat on the stool, Alice didn't have to wait to hear the sorting hat work out her house.

"I know you..." The hat whispered, seemingly confused. "Who are you?"

"An auror." Alice whispered back, so quietly that only the hat could hear. "And I need to be placed in Slytherin."

"Aren't you a little young to be an auror?" The hat whispered back, "In any case, you'd do well in Ravenclaw."

"I need to be in Slytherin." Alice whispered back forcefully. She didn't have time to explain everything to the sorting hat. Too long of a decision would draw more than the usual amount of attention.

"You seem sure. It'll have to be SLYTHERIN." The hat called out the house name, brining cheers from the Slytherin table. Alice was able to relax at the call. with the sorting hat done, she was pretty much in. Getting up off the seat, Alice walked over and joined the Slytherin students at their table.

Name: Derek
House wanted: anything but Slytherin
House you got: Hufflepuff



Derek heard is name called, so he walked up to the hat. He was a bit nervous, and the tips of his medium length neon green hair was changing between colors. He was hoping that people thought it was just a spell. Looking around, he seen no one was particularly interested, so they probably do.

As he sat down, the teacher sat the hat on his head. The tips of his hair stopped changing, and stayed on the color grey. The hat began raking through his brain. "hmmm, quite a strange mind you have here... Your pur..." I am not, I am muggle born he thought at the hat,  getting a bit angered at it. "I think you will do well in slitherin, follow in you..." his hair turned red, as his anger sharply rose I sware to god you stupid hat, if you finish that sentence you will wake up being baked alive in a furnace. "I see so, any mention of thoes people his taboo..." he said thinking... "In that case I supose Hufflepuff would be a good place for you" 

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouted to the entire hall, as one of the middle tables began to applause. His hair turned back to green as he walked to the table, and sat down..

Name: Krista Santa Carla
House Wanted: Gryffindor
House You Got: Gryffindor

Kristy sat patiently until her name was called. She skipped down to the hat and waited as the headmaster fit the hat firmly on her head, all the while thinking: 'Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor...' Not to her surprise, the hat shouted: "GRYFFINDOR!"! Firstly, all of her family's ancestors had gone to this school, and all had been Gryffindors, and secondly, well, Kristy was pleading as hard as she could in her mind for the hat to pick Gryffindor for her.
Kristy shyly sat down on the end of the table, beside three fifth-years who were already devouring their dinner.

Name: Max Kanon Capshaw Shields
House Wanted: Ravenclaw
House You Got: Ravenclaw

Max stood before the sorting hat in the great hall together with other first years. She wasn't excited about the sorting thing 'cause she believe any house will do. She was singing a song in her head when the professor called her name, "Max Kanon Shields". Max approached the professor before she get on the sorting hat. "With all due respect professor, but Kanon is also my name -Capshaw is my moms. Just for the record." She then continue to the sorting part.

"Hmm, I can feel a familiar blood, yes. Is your father still with the ministry? I bet he is." The sorting hat whispered. Max blinked after what she heard. Her dad wasn't that famous during his time at school, but many believed he was indeed clever. Yes, he's still with the ministry. She thought. With no further ado, the sorting hat shouted. "RAVENCLAW!" The students sitting on the Ravenclaw table clapped with joy.

Name:Kia Elizabeth Marie Tomichson
House Wanted: Hufflepuff
House You Got: Hufflepuff smile

Kia Elizabeth Marie had the butterflies. They swarmed and tickled as they flew around and attacked her insides.
This was supposed to be "The Moment," the ceremony of a witches' lifetime. In fact, she'd been looking forward to it ever since she got her letter in January.

Her father had quite a bit of explaining to do. Her mother didn't know about his wizardry, when Kia got her letter from a strange owl at noon, she didn't know about it either. The whole family had a stressful argument. Her mother hasn't spoken to her father since. So her dad explained the Sorting Hat and Hogwarts and magic to Kia, who was amazed by it all. He told her that he and his ancestors were all in Hufflepuff. He told her about how Hufflepuffs were known for being fair and loyal, and usually kinder than the other houses.

Her mother is ashamed of her now, calling her "that freak" or "mystical idiot" ever since. On that September morning, she had all of her trunks in the car and her father waiting behind the wheel. Kia lingered inside the house, staring at her mother. She was reading the newspaper, drinking coffee and ignoring her daughter's presence. She never said good-bye.

Kia, remembering the awful memory, frowned and felt hot tears blurring her vision. 'no! Not today, not now during the Sorting Ceremony, not ever! Forget about her!'

She wiped her eyes and tried to be strong. Trying wasn't working.

"Tomichson, Kia Elizabeth Marie!" shouted a voice from above. Sighing, she walked up the steps and prayed to herself. Hufflepuff, please, please, Hufflepuff...

She seated herself on the tall wooden stool. She felt like poo.
She choked down the lump forming in her throat.

This is much too much pressure on a very, very sensitive eleven year old girl with family issues...

"You're a little stressed, aren't you?" said the Sorting Hat, startling her. His voice stretched and echoed in her mind. He made her even more uncomfortable.

Clearing his throat, the hat began. "Oh-ho! Haven't seen a Tomichson in a while! Ahhh, first years like you make my job easier, boring, but easier."

Kia Elizabeth Marie raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well, you're a Tomichson, and, apparently, the last. All depends on your ancestors, really," he explained hastily. "Don't tell anyone!" the Sorting Hat hissed.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"
