 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Olivia knew what was going to happen, and what she had to do.
Just go up when her name was called, near the end due to her last name, and sit on the stool as the Sorting Hat was placed upon her blonde hair. Then it would do all the hard work of choosing which house of Hogwarts was to be her home for the next seven years. And given the thoughts and behaviors of some in her family, the family that one was a part of for the rest of her life. Would she be a badger like her mother? Or a lion like her father? Or fall under the cunning and knowledge-seeking crowd of her grandmother, uncle or extended family?
She tried to distract herself from her wondering by looking around at the new things while others were getting sorted. But oh look…the boy from the train had been sorted into Slytherin. And Rachel was a Ravenclaw. Okay…okay…must not be nervous, she reminded herself as she moved up further and further inline.
“Ms. Olivia Stone…”
That was her name and she bit the inside of her cheek as she made her way up to the stool and sat down, the weight of the hat added to her head. It took but a moment for the Sorting Hat to start to respond.
“Hmm…a Nairne in Stone clothing. Do you fit where your family tends to prefer?”
“I…don’t know.” Was she talking to a hat?
“Loyal and kind are there…yet a touch of cunning.”
Olivia swallowed. She wasn’t sure she really belonged with the Ralston line. Especially not the darker natures of some of them.
“You’re also not afraid of your own shadow…”
Was that a hint leaning towards her father’s house?
“I think…you better be…RAVENCLAW!!!”
She would take that, the newly sorted eagle released from the stool to join her new housemates.
