The large, creaking doors of the Great Hall opened in front of him, and Felix stepped inside. He was immediately hit with a comforting wall of warmth, and the soft glow of brilliant candlelight.
He gazed around the room in awe, taking in the cavernous ceiling which was adorned with twinkling stars and hundreds of floating candles.

"I can't wait to explore the castle and the grounds," Felix muttered in response.
"Hmmmm, I wonder. I detect something in you. A certain sense of - hmm - what is it?"
Felix gulped, not sure whether he was meant to respond or not.
"Yesss, I see. Well, better be- HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat yelled.
Felix looked over at a table of students that were suddenly on their feet and cheering, a welcoming sea of yellow. He sighed in relief and stood from the stool, watching as the kind faced woman waved her wand and his uniform transformed to show his new house crest, with honey yellow accents on his uniform and robes.
