Everything was getting exciting. After the train, Elara split off from her brother and aunt, instead joining the other first years. She wasn't particularly eager to ride on a little boat across a dark lake, but at least she wouldn't have to row. Plus, the other kids on her boat seemed pretty nice. Following the boats, the group finally headed inside. It was really cool in here, which she appreciated. The group of first years walked into the Great Hall proper, allowing her a moment to look around. She spotted Merc and Mika at the Ravenclaw table, offering a little curtsey to them. Soon enough, she'd be in a house as well, and perhaps she'd be moved to sit with them.
When her name was called, Elara did her best to walk professionally to the front. This was a school, after all! She sat on the stool, letting the hat rest upon her blonde hair. "Alright, let's see how you work. I'm sure you don't need any input from me, but I look forward to your expert analysis." She clicked her tongue, waiting eagerly to learn her fate for the next seven years.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Fʀɪᴇɴᴅʟʏ Despite enjoying a good argument, Elara is a very good friend when she needs to be. She likes to talk to people wherever she goes and can befriend just about anyone.
xxxxx⇾Aʀɢᴜᴍᴇɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ Elara likes to argue, something that she’s been doing since she was a small child. She thinks it’s fun to be stubborn and oppositional.
xxxxx⇾Gᴇɴᴇʀᴏᴜs When she meets someone in need, Elara is compelled to help in any way she can. She’ll go out of her way to assist her family, friends, and even strangers.
xxxxx⇾Cᴏᴍᴘᴇᴛɪᴛɪᴠᴇ She views everything as a game that she has to win. Whether it’s playing games, debates, or even Quidditch, Elara simply cannot lose.
xxxxx⇾Iɴᴛᴇʟʟɪɢᴇɴᴛ In order to be good at debates, you have to be whip smart and Elara definitely fits that bill. She has a desire to learn new information and retains most of what she learns like a sponge.
xxxxx⇾Cʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ Not in the artistic way, but Elara is imaginative when it comes to thinking. She observes situations and finds the most out of the box ways to find solutions.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... "A sharp wit, and even sharper tongue Don't disagree with me, I know best The best placement for you Where you'll grow most is..." RAVENCLAW!
Of all three Hales, Alec knew he'd be the first to be sorted. They would go alphabetically, meaning he'd be summoned first. He did hope that everyone got sorted where they wanted to go, but he hoped he'd get to be with at least one of his siblings. He was excited to watch over the edge of the boat and into the spooky lake, especially since there were probably oodles of magical creatures in the depths. He was a little bummed to get out of the boat, but they were now headed for the castle! Walking through the huge hallways, Alec could feel himself getting more and more excited.
Sure enough, once the H's came up, Alec was first. He grinned at his sisters, then hurried to the front. Sitting down, he couldn't help but fidget his hands as he waited to hear from the hat. "Alright, it'll be super cool to be sorted with my sisters. We're triplets, see, and it'd be nice to stick together. If we can't, then at least make sure they go somewhere they'll like, 'kay?"
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Cᴜʀɪᴏᴜs Every question has an answer and it is Alec’s personal mission to learn them all. He prefers a hands-on approach to learning and frequently does things to give himself the ability to explore his questions. He’s had several fails, but he’s also learned a lot about the world by getting his hands dirty.
xxxxx⇾Aᴅᴠᴇɴᴛᴜʀᴏᴜs Alec has an adventurous spirit that can’t be quelled. Even in boring situations, there’s always an adventure to be had. He often occupies his time coming up with new ways to explore the world around him, even if it occasionally drifts into daydream territory.
xxxxx⇾Cʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ Even though every question has a logical answer, Alec prefers to think up creative solutions. He also loves art in many forms, though his favorite way to share creativity is through food. It helps that it’s a good way to warm peoples’ hearts.
xxxxx⇾Lᴏʏᴀʟ Alec is definitely ride or die, especially when it comes to family. He will do just about anything for people he loves, even at a detriment to himself.
xxxxx⇾Eɴᴇʀɢᴇᴛɪᴄ It is nigh impossible to contain Alec’s wild energy. He’s always up and moving, always finding something to do to help keep himself entertained.
xxxxx⇾Fʀɪᴇɴᴅʟʏ Even on his grumpy days, it’s hard for Alec to shake his friendly demeanor. Part of it is that he doesn’t like when people don’t like him, but a lot of it is that he just likes making people smile.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... "Triplets three, I know what's best for thee For you, adventurous and loyal You need a place regal and royal. For the first of three I see, you'll be best in..." GRYFFINDOR!

Caitriona had had a good time on the train ride, hanging out with Cyril and getting snacks from the trolley. She did get bored about halfway through and wound up taking a nap, but when they arrived in the magical village, her energy returned. She'd practically bounced around the platform until they were ushered to the boats. Leaning over the edge, she brushed the water, letting the cold water rush around her hand. Then they got escorted through the castle and into the Great Hall. It was a sudden burst of noise and color. Cait was amazed by the ceiling of the big room. When her name was called, she took the seat, eager to see what this Sorting experience was going to be like.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Energetic Always a ball of energy, Cait is constantly on the move and can't sit still even for a minute. She's likely to fidget constantly or stand up and move when she's expected to sit and do schoolwork. xxxxx⇾Tomboyish Cait isn't the girly type at all. She's not afraid to get dirty, she prefers boy clothes over girl clothes, and doesn't like makeup. She would rather be one of the guys. xxxxx⇾Judgy Very opinionated, Cait isn't one to mince words. She has an opinion about everyone and she is very willing to share it, even if it's a mean thought. xxxxx⇾Competitive She wants to win at everything she does and Cait will go out of her way to make sure she does. Cait can turn everything into a competition and then she has to win. xxxxx⇾Brave Cait is willing to dive into danger and it gives her a rush to do so. She idolizes firefighters and wants to be like them when she grows up. xxxxx⇾Reckless Not one to think about the consequences of her actions, she dives right into action. This can lead to her getting in trouble or hurt, but those aren't concerns of hers. She's not likely to listen to other peoples' opinions.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Bravery in the face of danger is admirable, But sometimes caution is commendable. The best place to suit your energy, And to channel your fire is... GRYFFINDOR!

Linnie had rode the train with her sister, the two sharing in quiet conversation and homemade snacks, since Iana was really antsy when it came to anyone else making food. However, Linnie did get some snacks from the trolley, since she wasn't iffy about her food. She did miss her puppy, which she'd had to leave at home because she couldn't bring him with her. When the train reached the platform, Linnie stole a hug from Iana and one from Eddie before she had to go off with the first years. The boat ride had been pretty serene and then they were off through the school. She walked amongst the first years doing her best to contain her excitement. The next of the Overton brood was excited to get Sorted and start making tons of friends. When they got to the Great Hall, Linnie looked up at the ceiling in awe. Of course she'd heard about it from Charlotte and Eddie and Iana, but seeing it was truly amazing. When her name was finally called, Linnie took her seat expectantly.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Active Linnie has trouble staying still and enjoys running, playing, climbing, just about anything to burn off that excess energy. This does sometimes cause problems for her when she needs to focus on schoolwork. xxxxx⇾Friendly She can make friends anywhere and with anyone. Linnie is talkative and likes to befriend anyone she can. Some people might get annoyed with her for being talkative, but she doesn't mind. xxxxx⇾Smart Despite issues with focus, Linnie is still pretty smart. She remembers most facts that she learns and can learn new facts pretty easily. Learning new things seems to come naturally to her. xxxxx⇾Reliable Part of being a good friend is being able to be counted on and that's where Linnie shines. She's there through thick and thin, ready to help her friends wherever they need her. xxxxx⇾Patient Everyone arrives at their own time and Linnie understands that. This makes her especially good at helping people, since she's very calm and doesn't push anyone unless they really need it. xxxxx⇾Honest Linnie simply cannot tell a lie. Her family knows when she tries to lie because her face gives it away easily. She prefers to tell the truth, even if it might be a little hurtful because she wants people to do the same for her.

Damon enjoyed the quiet train ride though he spent an hour trying to catch the chocolate frog. After he ate it he kinda felt bad for the frog but he had 5 new trading cards and a slight tummy ache. He had made himself lunch. His dad chose to sleep in. He was used to caring for him and his brother. The 2 crustless peanut butter and jelly and a juice box would tide him over till dinner. An older student popped by and mentioned he should change. He did so as he didn't want to get in trouble the first day. He exited the train when they arrived and followed the fellow students. He couldn't help but notice one too high energy boy. Weird. He picked a quiet boat and was awed by the castle! Did it have a dragon too? Now he was more excited! He had some issues getting off the boat but there was a nice adult to help. He wanted to blend in with the others his age. Where were all the other older students? His question was answered when they entered the great hall. They walked up the middle and Damon didn't like all the eyes on them. A few older students waved likely to siblings to his classmates. He was middle of the sorting when he heard his name. “Lockwood, Damon” he slipped between the others and went and sat on the stool like he had seen others. He knew nothing about the different houses so he really had no opinion were he would go
STOIC Damon rarely shows emotion. Typicy only extreme emotions are expressed. He mostly doesn't know how or it feels unnecessary or not worth it EASILY FRUSTRATED When things don't go as planned Damon doesn't take it well. He tends to get upset and typically blames himself even in situations he has no control over. He has low tolerance for failure. SOFT HEARTED Damon likes cute things, small fluffy are his favorite and wants to protect vulnerable people and creatures. The more pitiful something or someone is the stronger he wants to help and protect. HONEST Damon doesn't like to lie even if it's for a greater good. Lying is wrong. He has trouble lying even by omission. As such he does not desire to know secrets. Cant lie of you dont know COURIOUS despite not wanting to know secrets he still likes to learn and discover. He enjoyed school and liked to stay late even if it got him in trouble at home. SHELTERED due to his upbringing he has little social skills and can come off as distant and out of touch with what is popular with his peers. This leads to few friends as he unsure how to relate to others

Come time to change he left to let Cait change first then vice versa. Arriving he was still so full of excitement and energy. He did spot another boy watching him but the poor guy seemed sad or nervous. He joined the boat Cait was in and offered to hold the lantern. Everyone seemed awed by the castle! He only knew about dads school in Japan. Was it similar? He pondered as they made it to the great hall. Once entered he was amazed by the sky ceiling. He had to wait a bit as his name was a bit later in the alphabet. Shiratori, Cyril” he heard and hopped his way to the stool sitting with a plop.

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ Today had been a day of many many firsts, maybe one too many for Note but she was excited nonetheless. She and her family had made the trip to London the day prior so that she could find the hidden platform and ride a magical train all the way to Scotland. Unfortunately due to her nervousness the previous night, she'd barely gotten any sleep and before she could find someone around her age to meet, she'd fallen asleep. She was only woken by an older student explaining they were nearly at the station and to change into her uniform.
After departing the train, she barely had time to really look around (admittedly, it was pretty dark so she probably wouldn't be able to see much regardless) before she was herded with the other first years towards the boats. Note enjoyed this part much more than the train and had to stop herself from turning every which way too often since the boat would rock and one of the other kids started to look a bit green. She did apologize once she figured it out and they didn't seem mad at her so she took it as a minor win! The sight of the castle filled her with awe as she took in just how massive it really was, to the point where she nearly tripped into the lake getting out the water as she couldn't force her eyes away from it.
Following in line with the others, Note's head would swivel every which way trying to take everything in and barely recognized they'd stopped moving until the announcement of the sorting. The nerves she thought had gone came back with a vengeance as she watched student's names be called and get sorted by a magical talking hat (no one in her family was going to believe this!). Her anxiety was so prominent that it took her a moment to realize that her name was being called and then another second to react and move. 'Hello...Mister? Miss? I'm sorry I didn't hear your name before. Um, I don't really know what you need to hear...'☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

◊ DETERMINEDIf you give Note enough time-or even no time!-she will figure it out. Whether it be a math problem, a table being double booked, or even a bus full of tourist and a broken freezer door, she’ll do her best to figure out any solution and make sure it goes to plan. Good or bad. ◊ IMAGINATIVEOne of Note’s favorite pastimes is daydreaming different scenarios, especially if she’s seen or read something particularly fantastical. Ever since she discovered fanfiction, it opened up whole new avenues that she's enjoying discovering. ◊ ORGANIZEDSincer her childhood discovery, Note has taken to keeping multiple journals and notebooks of her thoughts and ideas. As such, she’s had to learn to become quite orderly and categorized otherwise her notes and books would become a tangled mess. Plus as additional help in the restaurant, she’d learned early on that as long as she was organized, almost everything would run smoothly. ◊ INVENTIVENote enjoys coming up with new ways of doing things or even fixing the way things have “always been done.” She’s very good at not just adapting to a situation but sometimes coming up with ways to make it better. ◊ THOUGHTFULNote’s head is almost always up in the clouds always imagining scenarios or coming up with ideas. Despite her sometimes airheaded nature, she’s always willing to be of help to anyone around her. Sometimes the worlds collide and she’ll be up until two in the morning trying to sew a wrist wrest to help her mama’s arthritis or she’ll keep a flavor of tea that no one else likes except for one particular customer. ◊ IMMATUREDue to being sheltered most of her life, Note has a rather naive look upon the outside world. Her only view of it really comes from the customers who come in or in books and television. It’s unfortunately led to her gullibly falling for things she shouldn’t have had or even believing a person when she should’ve remained skeptical.
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine I hope that someday I'll see without these frames And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone 'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Bren's heart was beating, probably faster than it should have been, as the first years gathered in the Great Hall. She was trying to convince herself that the house she was put in wasn't ultimately that important, but that didn't do any good at calming her nerves. She had lost some of the confidence she had coming and found herself staying as close as she could to her brother and sister. Her eyes also kept wandering towards her other brother and sister, who were already seated at their house tables. With four siblings here, she was bound to be in the same house as at least one of them, right? She watched with wide eyes as Alec's name was called, knowing she was going next. She blew out a long breath as she heard her name. She gave Gracie's hand a quick squeeze, then headed up to sit on the little stool.
When the hat was put on her head, she bit her lip and tried her best to relax her shoulders. "If I could be in the same house with one of my siblings at least, that would be great, but I guess I trust your judgment one way or the other." After all, it was a sentient talking hat; who was she to say if it made a bad choice?
DETERMINED Bren knows what she wants and tends to focus fully on her goals. She isn't one to just sit back and let things happen; she goes after what she wants. Any obstacles she comes across are only temporary, and she does her best to get back on track as soon as possible. CURIOUS Bren wants to know how the world works. She is constantly learning and discovering new things. She always has questions and isn't content until she finds answers. She wants to understand every detail she comes across. HARDWORKINGBren’s not one to shy away from work, especially if it involves a challenge. When there is something she wants to learn or if she has a goal in mind, she’ll happily put in the effort she needs to accomplish it. She’s self-motivated, and it’s easy for her to stay on top of tasks. STUBBORN Though Bren never does it to be rude, Bren is very stubborn. She isn't likely to change an opinion unless there's really good evidence that she's wrong. She does not like being told what to do, and though she tries to be respectful, she struggles with people in charge insisting she does something, especially without a good explanation. PROTECTIVE The people she loves always come first, especially her family. She'll put herself in the way of danger if it will keep someone else safe. Whether that be a physical threat or something like a bully. She never wants anyone to get hurt. CANDID Bren doesn't hide anything and is always going to share her feelings. Sometimes a little too much. She's never trying to be rude, but she'll be blunt without question if she feels it's necessary. Beating around the bush for the sake of being polite is just not something she does.

Grace was the third of the Hale triplets to be called, with Alec going first and Brennie following him. After their train ride and boat trip across the lake, Gracie was tired, but for this Sorting, the preteen was wide awake. While she didn't want to be separated from her brother and sister, it was very likely that they would be. She knew this was likely going to happen because of the minute differences between the three kids. She waited anxiously as her brother and then sister went before her, then her name was called. The girl took her seat and closed her eyes as the Hat was placed on her head.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾ Calm Relaxed in nature, she isn't one to get angry easily. She takes a neutral approach to arguments and tries to defuse situations, rather than push them harder. xxxxx⇾ Nature-loving Grace loves to be in nature, whether it's walking in a park, camping in the yard, or hiking in the mountains. If she's away from nature for an extended period of time, she starts to get depressed. xxxxx⇾ Spacey Described as having her head in the clouds, or as a space cadet, Grace is always drifting off into her thoughts. This especially happens when she's laying in the grass. xxxxx⇾ Caring She'll go out of her way to help others, even when it detracts from what she was doing. This does sometimes lead to her handing in incomplete assignments or leaving projects half-finished. xxxxx⇾ Nurturing She's great and growing plants as well as helping injured animals. Grace routinely brings home animals she finds outside to try and raise them. She also enjoys gardening and bringing life to lots of plants. xxxxx⇾ Sensitive Easily offended and prone to crying are two things that describe Grace. But she also gets teary whenever she sees pretty flowers, sunsets, or animal videos.

Atticus Callahan FIRST YEAR - UNSORTED
Atticus had mostly kept to himself on the journey to Hogwarts. He just...wasn't sure how to talk to people. There were situations that came up naturally, but anyone he'd seen on the Platform or on the train seemed to be in their own groups and he didn't want to insert himself into anything. So, he'd sat quietly, letting his new owl Achilles sit on his leg. He'd been admittedly a little sad when he'd had to leave him with the rest of his things when the first years went up to the Great Hall. So, now he stood there, ringing his hands and waiting for his name to be called. Hopefully it'd be easier to make friends once he was sorted.
When he heard his name, his gingerly made his way up front, taking deep breaths in and out. He sat heavily and ended up closing his eyes as the sorting hat slid into place over his head. He found his brain going blank, so he did all he could. Which was just sitting there; waiting.
DETERMINED Atticus tends to put his full focus into things when he decides they're important. He'll do everything he can to pursue these tasks, and once he sets his mind to something, it's impossible to talk him out of it. If there is an answer that he wants, he is going to find it, and nothing is going to stop him. MORAL Atticus always does what he thinks is right. He wants to make sure that people are treated fairly. He's also not afraid to call people out for being rude or unthoughtful. He has a strong sense of right and wrong and will go out of his way without question to do what he thinks is right. INTELLIGENT Atticus has always been naturally intelligent. He easily remembers things that he's learned and is eager to learn more. He loves to talk about the things he knows and will happily share information with anyone who asks. He often spends time lost in thought while he tries to figure out something new. CLUMSY Atticus is undoubtedly clumsy, and not just physically. He doesn't have the best control of his body and is far from graceful. This can also apply to his mouth. He tends to say things without realizing how they are going to come across. Not rude things, awkward things. He usually realizes this after the fact, but not quickly enough to stop himself. He's also not the best at keeping track of time and is frequently late. SUPPORTIVEAtticus deeply cares about other people. He goes out of his way to be there for other people and is someone you can always rely on. He'll happily offer advice if it's needed, or just be a listening ear. He's patient with those he interacts with. Even though he can come across as shy and maybe even anti-social, people always come first to him. PERCEPTIVE Atticus has an innate awareness of the world around him. He often notices small details that no one else does and can piece things together without too much thought. He also tends to be good at reading people and noticing subtle changes in behavior. He's always observing.

Today was a lot! Dad couldn't make it as there had been a meeting planned long before all this new magic stuff so Benny understood. His mom was going over things he'd have to remember to do on his own. He was used to his old boarding school but it sounded different this time. Once they got to the platform his mom had the family butler load up. Benny held Princess's carrier who was looking around nervously and leaning close to the side against Benny. He got some train money and mom said they would send more when he got low. And his birthday present was in his trunk. The train ride was nice even on a communal train. He got to meet some classmates! Later he got changed and tried some treats. He joined his peers and while not a fan of the boats the view was phenomenal. He was glad not to be the only one to struggle with getting out though. He was used to bigger boats! Entering the great hall the magic sky ceiling is what took his attention. He watched the sorting till he heard his name “Nazario, Benjamin” he would go up and sit all proper. “I'm sure you're clean Mr Hat but I don't know about everyone else's hair.” he thought to himself and the hat. He had figured the hat was reading their brains to figure where to put them.
LOYAL Benny values trust and pays well for it. He will tge most trusting and trustworthy friend one could ask for. Break that trust and it take a lot to earn it back. RESOURCEFUL while careful with how he presents himself he is not above getting dirty of his goals. He can get inspiration for almost anything and can find new ways to do something or use something VAIN Benny is needy when it comes to affirmation, seeking compliments on his looks, talents, or strengths. He thrives on praise and compliment but doesn't take criticism as well. SPOILED Benny is used to the finer things and hasn't experienced any less. He's come to expect it and gets kinda lost when something is different AMBITIOUS Benny has high aims. He wants to be famous and memorable. To do so he studies hard. More skills the better. FLAMBOYANT Benny is high-spirited, playful, and has a flair for the dramatic. He's emotional and dramatic with them. This leads him to get pouty when inconvenienced

Braeden Freyr Grey Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
Today was a lot for Freyr to soak in. He could still hear Freya’s litany of complaints in his head, and all of them rang true, and maybe she had a point that her Mum should have done something to get her born a day earlier. She was eleven, today, in fact, and yet she wasn’t to stand with him to be Sorted, as was right and good. Freyr and Freya set apart, no, this shouldn’t be. His cousins taught him to fly already, and the basics of Quidditch, and yet he had no broomstick of his own, nor could he have a big ol’ doggo like his Cousin Finn, though he was promised the pick of the next litter grandsired by Cousin Lynn’s prolific Lugh, as was appropriate for the Hound of the Deep Woods.
Though they lived in separate households, Freya was as much his sister as little Claddaugh, which brought to the fore his next concern. While he was here at school, there was nobody there for his little sister. Who would protect her when the mean kids knocked her down and took her lunch money? Ever since … the incident last winter, when Freyr and Freya’s magic was awakened, they’d been homeschooled, though the bully-boys still knew better than to cause Claddaugh grief, as the Hound was sure to find them. When he first held her at the hospital, Dad had him promise to protect her; distance caused that promise to pull at him like a millstone attached to a chain around his neck, or a gesa.
The train ride was a fun experience, and he shared the trip with Finn’s big wolfhound and Rey’s little Rosie, as his cousin didn’t feel it right for his lovable Nera to share the Prefect’s Compartment and fill up the floorspace, while all the prefects gathered to do whatever mysterious things prefects did, while Rosie didn’t deserve to be stuffed into a cat carrier for the whole trip. Having the compartment to himself gave him time and space to practice playing his Uilleann pipes, and Freyr was hopeful of a chance to join the Music Club, so he could get in on jam sessions with the other musicians there.
Now, he was standing in the Great Hall, waiting for his turn at the Sorting Hat. After the trip across the Black Lake and having his first look at the magnificent castle that was to be his second home, this was almost anticlimactic, though he was amazed at the scene in the magical ceiling above his head. When he heard his own name called, he lamented once more Freya’s absence before walking up. ‘Well, you’re the coolest thing I’ve seen here so far,’ he thought towards the Hat. ‘So, how does this work? I talk, you talk. Um, my parents are Canaan Grey and Annie. Do you remember them? Maybe you have a cool story about them ….’
Personality:
■ Loyal- My family is my family; my friends are my family, period. I won’t hesitate to defend them. ■ Expressive- I seem to have inherited the passion for music my Da has, particularly Irish folk music. I also enjoy woodworking ■ Dog Empathy- People are alright, I guess, but dogs are better. In return, when I meet dogs, they always seem to know they have a friend, even the big and mean ones. ■ Dependable- I like being the person folks know they can rely upon to do the right thing. ■ Brave- Da and my cousins taught me a few things about playing Quidditch, one of them was that if you try to avoid getting hurt, you’re the one who gets hit with the Bludger. Meaning: If you’re going to take a risk, take it and be done with it already. If you know you’re going to get hit, take the hit, and then worry about the mess afterwards. ■ Obdurate: When I set my mind to something, I’ll stick it out until it's done.
Likes:
■ Quidditch ■ Fish and Chips ■ Helping Dad in the greenhouse ■ Dogs ■ Kenmare supporter (got family on the team, so …)
Dislikes:
■ Bullies in general, anyone who hurts animals in particular ■ Crowds and especially loud people. They give me headaches. ■ Being stuck indoors for too long ■ Not particularly fond of extremely spicy food ■ Anyone who messes with Claddaugh, or Freya
Hobbies: ■ Playing the Uilleann pipes ■ Playing Quidditch, or trying to ■ Gardening ■ Woodworking ■ Hockey and Rugby, because I get to hit things, and I’m a good size to play.
Strengths: ■ Claddaugh says that I’m brave, but she’s my sister, and something did happen last winter, so maybe … ■ My faith in my family, an’, ye know, the Man Upstairs
Weaknesses:
■ Well, there’s those who say I’m too opinionated for my age, but that’s just not true, an’ who asked ye anyway? ■ I do get focused on things, an’ forget the rest of the world around me.
Fears:
■ That thing in the woods. Dinna tell me it’s not real ■ That I’ll fail my little sister

Loving you makes nothing easy After all, the things we want are not the same
Pete did not rush when his name was called. He heard it clearly and moved forward slowly, adjusting his robe. The Great Hall felt larger as he moved, the whispers and pauses shifting around him, but he kept his eyes forward, noting the floor, the light, and the motion above, storing every detail. He was not scared, only calm, the same steady feeling that came when something needed doing and he knew how to do it. He thought about helping quietly, fixing things before anyone noticed, about responsibility and balance, about his sister and the restaurant, about noticing the small details that kept the world running smoothly. He did not want attention, but he liked knowing where things were going before they arrived, steering outcomes without anyone realizing, and positioning himself to make the most of every opportunity.
The Hat settled over his eyes, the Hall vanished, and Pete waited, fingers laced, thinking, calculating, trusting that wherever he landed, he would find the place where he could quietly be indispensable and rise in his own way.
Personality:
OBSERVANT Pete notices patterns before he notices people noticing them: routines, moods, small changes in behavior. He stores information quietly, often knowing things long before anyone realizes he’s been paying attention. HELPFUL Helping feels natural to Pete, but not performative. He offers solutions because he’s already thought them through, not because he wants praise. If something can be fixed, he feels compelled to try. IMPULSIVE Once Pete has reached a conclusion, he can act quickly, sometimes too quickly, jumping in before fully considering how visible his actions might make him. OVER-APOLOGETIC Pete apologizes instinctively, often before he’s done anything wrong. It’s less about fear and more about caution, a desire to keep situations calm and balanced. CONFLICT-AVERSIVE When tension rises, Pete shuts down rather than escalates. He’ll agree outwardly even when internally unconvinced, preferring to retreat and think rather than argue. CAREFUL Pete is cautious with his choices and his words. He dislikes unnecessary risks and prefers knowing what to expect before stepping forward.

Today was a lot! Dad couldn't make it as there had been a meeting planned long before all this new magic stuff so Benny understood. His mom was going over things he'd have to remember to do on his own. He was used to his old boarding school but it sounded different this time. Once they got to the platform his mom had the family butler load up. Benny held Princess's carrier who was looking around nervously and leaning close to the side against Benny. He got some train money and mom said they would send more when he got low. And his birthday present was in his trunk. The train ride was nice even on a communal train. He got to meet some classmates! Later he got changed and tried some treats. He joined his peers and while not a fan of the boats the view was phenomenal. He was glad not to be the only one to struggle with getting out though. He was used to bigger boats! Entering the great hall the magic sky ceiling is what took his attention. He watched the sorting till he heard his name “Nazario, Benjamin” he would go up and sit all proper. “I'm sure you're clean Mr Hat but I don't know about everyone else's hair.” he thought to himself and the hat. He had figured the hat was reading their brains to figure where to put them.
LOYAL Benny values trust and pays well for it. He will tge most trusting and trustworthy friend one could ask for. Break that trust and it take a lot to earn it back. RESOURCEFUL while careful with how he presents himself he is not above getting dirty of his goals. He can get inspiration for almost anything and can find new ways to do something or use something VAIN Benny is needy when it comes to affirmation, seeking compliments on his looks, talents, or strengths. He thrives on praise and compliment but doesn't take criticism as well. SPOILED Benny is used to the finer things and hasn't experienced any less. He's come to expect it and gets kinda lost when something is different AMBITIOUS Benny has high aims. He wants to be famous and memorable. To do so he studies hard. More skills the better. FLAMBOYANT Benny is high-spirited, playful, and has a flair for the dramatic. He's emotional and dramatic with them. This leads him to get pouty when inconvenienced
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Being resourceful is important, When you have such high ambition, But I know you can achieve greatness. You'll have you're best chance in... SLYTHERIN!
Braeden Freyr Grey Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
Today was a lot for Freyr to soak in. He could still hear Freya’s litany of complaints in his head, and all of them rang true, and maybe she had a point that her Mum should have done something to get her born a day earlier. She was eleven, today, in fact, and yet she wasn’t to stand with him to be Sorted, as was right and good. Freyr and Freya set apart, no, this shouldn’t be. His cousins taught him to fly already, and the basics of Quidditch, and yet he had no broomstick of his own, nor could he have a big ol’ doggo like his Cousin Finn, though he was promised the pick of the next litter grandsired by Cousin Lynn’s prolific Lugh, as was appropriate for the Hound of the Deep Woods.
Though they lived in separate households, Freya was as much his sister as little Claddaugh, which brought to the fore his next concern. While he was here at school, there was nobody there for his little sister. Who would protect her when the mean kids knocked her down and took her lunch money? Ever since … the incident last winter, when Freyr and Freya’s magic was awakened, they’d been homeschooled, though the bully-boys still knew better than to cause Claddaugh grief, as the Hound was sure to find them. When he first held her at the hospital, Dad had him promise to protect her; distance caused that promise to pull at him like a millstone attached to a chain around his neck, or a gesa.
The train ride was a fun experience, and he shared the trip with Finn’s big wolfhound and Rey’s little Rosie, as his cousin didn’t feel it right for his lovable Nera to share the Prefect’s Compartment and fill up the floorspace, while all the prefects gathered to do whatever mysterious things prefects did, while Rosie didn’t deserve to be stuffed into a cat carrier for the whole trip. Having the compartment to himself gave him time and space to practice playing his Uilleann pipes, and Freyr was hopeful of a chance to join the Music Club, so he could get in on jam sessions with the other musicians there.
