That was a very interesting sorting ceremony. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, there's a lot more to it than simply having a hat on your head.

Hello, everyone. I'm Iris ShackShacklebolt.

Definitely something to write home about. So how'd it go? Was it a shitshow?

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

It went fine, can't complain.

[dominant.insanejournal.com]

No story, though? Love me a good sorting story.

Shacklebolt sounds familiar.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure how common of a surname it is around here.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Like the President Minister of Magic Shacklebolt?

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Yes, he's my father.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Well then. Now we know the school is prestigious.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Do we?

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Nice to meet you Iris. I hope your sorting ceremony was pleasant.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

What's your name? It was, thank you.

Congratulations on Coppertale, they're a great house. Although I must admit to being a little sad I won't see more of you.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

What house are you in again? I'm sure we'll have classes together. I appreciate you answering my questions on the way here.

Hello there, I'm Katya. Glad you survived sorting.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Katya, nice to meet you. Cheers.

Not all do!

Hey Iris! I'm Ree. Sorting's the bomb, right? I'm not convinced we weren't all a liiiiittle high.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Hello, Ree. Hm. That certainly would explain a few things, wouldn't it?

[cmdrchloe]

It was interesting! I wasn't expecting them to fuss.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

I keep wondering if the Hat did something similar. Like if all three Funders were inside your head, Merlin it'd be maddening.

[aerophone.insanejournal.com]

What's being sorted by a hat like?

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

It actually varies from person to person. The basics of it is that all the first years get called by name to come to the front of the Great Hall, sit on a stool and they put the Sorting Hat on your head. It'll talk to you, or more it sort of just thinks out loud, but inside your head. Sometimes it'll make it's decision right away, sometimes it takes a little longer.

Heeeeeeeey roomie!

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Hello!

[orangepip]

It was fun getting to actually see and talk to the emblems!
