Note (OOC): The original author of this piece is Wilting Rose on Magical Horizons. It has been modified slightly. The original thread is here.
As you walk up the stone steps to the Castle and your future home, you shiver with anticipation.
Someone ushers you to a small antechamber located off the Entrance Hall as you look around in wonder at the magical torches lighting up the hallway, and the sweeping staircase you are all assembled upon.
After what seems like an eternity, the huge oak doors swing open and you cascade into the hall, excited. A witch in her fifties (the Headmistress) smiles at you, wearing pale blue robes with silver stars on them.
She calls out names to try on the Sorting Hat, one by one, and each places the hat on their head. It calls out a house and then she beckons you to the stage. You place the Sorting Hat upon your head, and wait...
