THE SORTING OF DAMON EVERCREECH
THE SORTING OF DAMON EVERCREECH
Late on Sunday afternoon, there's a new arrival at Gooseberry. The vacancy in the Coppertale senior boys' cabin has been filled by a new Hogwarts exchange student, Damon Evercreech.
Damon is greeted at the lodge by the four heads of house: Mr. Hightower, Ms. Rhee, Mr. Merrill and Ms. Vector. They're also joined by his little brother, Calvin Evercreech. After the house elves collect all of Damon's luggage, the group walks out together to the Sorting Cave to deal with the formality. It's clear that everyone knows where Damon will end up, and Ms. Vector's just a tiny bit smug about it. She informs Damon that she used to teach at Hogwarts herself, and she hopes he finds the transfer to Gooseberry as rewarding as she did.
Anyone is welcome to hike out to the Sorting Cave to watch if they're interested, although attendance isn't mandatory. There are rumours of a small (teacher approved) party taking place after the ceremony.
» The sorting: Damon is introduced to the gathered students and sent into the cave.
» Audience: The people who have gathered to watch the somewhat anticlimactic sorting.
» Spies: Do you want to take a peek at the new kid without being seen? You can hide in the bushes and spy on the ceremony.
» welcoming party: Meet the new kid! Socialize! Roast marshmallows! Staff has given everyone permission to hold a small welcoming party outside the Sorting Cave. While there will be minimal adult oversight, you are not allowed to go into the cave and bother the emblems. Additionally, it might be a bad idea to bring alcohol that's not a personal flask.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
- Attendance is not mandatory.
- The sorting will take place at 7:00 PM, and the party will run until 9:30 PM
- Damon will return to see that his belongings have been left in his new cabin under his loft bed.
- Tomorrow, Damon will be shadowing his new prefect, Rafael Ramirez, who will give him a tour of Gooseberry and explain all the rules and expectations.
- Under the circumstances, Damon will receive some leniency about his senior project. It's required for graduation, but Damon will have access to help from teachers to design a reasonable project for him. He'll also receive extra help getting him caught up in his classes.
