Right person, wrong house - lorenzo berkshire

~Three~

Adalaine

After getting into the carriage they did kind of look at us blankly, but still, let us sit with them. so I guess it wasn't that welcoming. I learned that the four people already in the carriage were Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Luna. Luna was talking about Nargles and Hermione seemed to be fake interested.

I do admit Hermione seemed to be one of the 'I'm the smartest in the room so I'm going to show that' kind of people. which is similar to me for sure. I love showing my intelligence but I also don't make it seem that I'm stuck up or anything. Luna sounded nice, I enjoyed her talking about Nargles and other whimsical things even if people thought she was crazy, I think she was lovely. 

Jaelynn didn't seem to like any of the people in the carriage and continued to converse with me during the ride. We talked about Her father and the creatures that they rescued together. Among other things as well like quidditch and such. 

After a short time, we made it to the castle doors, they were a dark oak that paired nicely with the stone walls through the school. When Jaelynn and I walked in we were quickly stopped by a man who looked similar to merlin. Albus Dumbledore. 

"Adalaine Delacour and Jaelynn Scamander I presume? You must come with me, you have to be sorted with the 1st years as you have yet to know your house." He spoke Jaelynn looked pissed, giving him a side eye as we walked with him through the corridor.

"I presume you are the headmaster? Dumbledore is it? My father speaks highly of you. Says you can really make a difference in my life. And why in the all-natural fuck are we getting put with 1st years?" Jaelynn questioned, she was appalled, to say the least. 

My mouth fell open, I had been led to believe my sorting would be private, "oh great as if joining a new school 3rd isn't awful enough, why don't just add some embarrassment into the mixture as well." I spoke, I was just shocked mostly by Jaelynn's choice of words with our headmaster.

Dumbledore brought us to the group of first-years and we just stood awkwardly to the side waiting for us to be led to the dining hall. The doors were pushed open and the group of eleven-year-olds started to fall into the dining hall. They all huddled near the 'stage' where there were professors seated. 

We tried to blend in with the first-years but failed due to the height differences between an eleven-year-old and a thirteen to fourteen-year-old. After a moment the headmaster caught everyone's attention and the sorting would begin with Jaelynn, which she did not look thrilled about. However, when she got up to the stool she seemed interested in the Slytherin table, her eyes lingered for a moment after the hat began to talk.

"...You should be placed in Slytherin, due to your behavior. But no your soul is brave. And you have a lot of courage to come to a new school... GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindor table erupted with cheers but I could see the disappointment that flashed in her eyes upon being placed with that house. 

I was called up right after, My eyes catching a glimpse of the Slytherin table too. I couldn't lie the people sitting at the table were quite pretty.  I had made eye contact with one of the girls at the table. her brown hair and side-swept bangs were the most visible features from where I had been sitting. I couldn't make out the expression she had but she turned her head and continued speaking to the group of boys she was sitting with.

The hat began talking as soon as it hit my head. "I see.. Very ambitious, determined, and a bit of a rule breaker, Slytherin perhaps? Or no, there's a yearning for knowledge and you're a very clever person... There's only one house for you and that is RAVENCLAW!" The table decorated in blue and silver cheered. 

I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed I wouldn't be in the house with the first friend I made here. I found a seat next to Luna but we didn't talk much due to the sorting ceremony.

After the sorting I started a conversation with a few people at my table the most notable being a girl named Cho, she was nice and I enjoyed her conversation. After dinner, the house prefects called us together to lead us back to our common rooms. I made eye contact with Jaelynn and sent her a smile before following the rest of my house out of the great hall.
