"Daniel Howell!" The woman with grey hair calls out, whose name Phil forgot due to his anxiety of being sorted into a House. Concentrating on the Sorting Ceremony seems to be the best way to cope at this moment so that's what the black-haired boy attempts to do.
One could see the boy's legs shaking as he treads forward. The magical hat is being put atop of his head and it immediately starts making deliberating movements. Dan's feet dangle and his brown hair more or less covers his left eye.
As far as a hat can nod, it shakes its top and finally calls a House out. "Gryffindor!" The already being sat students at the fourth table burst out in cheering as they welcome the new Gryffindor. Dan looks relieved but there is a hidden glance of worry in those brown eyes. He walks at such a high pace that it might be considered lucky for him that he didn't trip.
All attention is already back to the Sorting Hat and there are hundreds of eyes locked on professor McGonagall. She slides the infinite list of eleven year-olds a little up as she calls out the next names.
Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. One of these Houses is going to be each student's home, this day is one of the most important days of the year. Each House has their own secrets, qualities and type of person who belongs to it. Time flies, and before Phil even realizes his name echoes through the Great Hall.
