| Wow so many XD lives in a hobbit hole || Ern and Touz's Nuzzle || roflysst || looking at a seed packet AAAAAAAH!!! KATY WAS A SLYTHERIN! That was GOOD BECAUSE it meant that BASTIEN could LOOK AFTER HER. Two cousins down, brother and more friends to go! This was the best! Watching sorting was WAY more exciting than doing it yourself, Char decided.
And look it was Genny's turn!!!!
AAAAAAH!!! Quote:

Though she HAD been sitting on her hands, Charlotte thrust them up in the air in celebration, totally overwhelmed by the fact that someone fun and awesome like Genny was GOING TO BE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS HER! If she couldn't be a Ravenclaw, and she'd promised Benzi and Zander that she would try doing things right in Gryffindor, then Char was going to be the BEST and PROUDEST Gryffindor around.
She waved both hands at Genny and ROARED in excitement.
"YAAAAY! You're gonna be in a dorm like RIGHT BY MY DORM FOR FOREVER!" Yeah!!! Next dorm over!! Quote:

"Wanna do something fun later?"[/COLOR] Charlotte turned her attention to Blaise and beamed at him. "Sure am! LOOK, my cousins just got Slytherin! AND GENNY TATE IS MY FRIEND AND SHE IS GRYFFINDOR LIKE US and my brother is getting sorted soon TOO!" SO exciting!
Wait what? Fun later? "Sure!" Charlotte said immediately, having no need to actually ask what said fun would entail. She was up for it. FUN! YEAH! Quote:

"Do you think he's gonna be in Gryffindor too?" Or maybe Ravenclaw like Charlotte's parents? "I don't KNOW what house he's going to be in." Really. "He is REALLY smart definitely!" Char stood up and pointed up at the waiting gaaggle of first years. "That one! That's Callum, my brother! HI CALLUM!" She waved enthusiastically and then beamed at Ava. WASN'T THIS THE BEST? "Do YOU have any friends or family sorting?" Because if not, that was alright, Charlotte didn't mind sharing. Quote:

Naturally, ladies came first. So he sought out Sharky at the Gryffindor table. It was so obvious which house was hers because one, everyone over here seemed to share her level of overt excitement, and two her name was being shouted out left and right.
No surprise, his cousin was popular. "Silly old hat thought he was gonna put me in any ol' house.." Not this Toussaint. He had plans. Bast took a seat beside his cousin, and took in the others at he table. Some where actually speaking to her, so he inclined his head at them but otherwise didn't engage. He had a sister to pick a house and a cousin.
But that didn't mean he couldn't talk to her. "Where do you think the others will get sorted?" Or the better question of where did they want to go, because that's all that had mattered with Bastien. "How close are our common rooms? You have to visit mine lots." Speaking of family, HERE WAS FAMILY.
"Bast!" Charlotte shrieked excitedly and wrapped her arms around him. "Look, Katy got Slytherin TOO!" She pointed over at the younger blonde Toussaint girl and then sat down and just generally beamed all around at everyone, making sure they saw she was claiming family right here.
"I don't know! I don't know its so exciting I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE!" Not true, she was breathing just fine, but DRAMATICALLY. This was A BIG EXCITING DEAL.
"You have to visit MINE actually because mine is UP in the towers really high aand yours is in the dungeon and there are no fat Gryffindors because you have to walk up a LOT of stairs and you don't want to get fat so you should walk up them and come see me." Obviously, Bast. Quote:

She had a huge pile in front of her (sort of BRIBING others to come talk to her, yes) and she noticed her dorm mates seated nearby. She wanted to talk to them, but when she opened her mouth, her throat constricted and her tongue got all dry. Why was she so scared?
There was a boy there, too - Slytherin, she had just watched him get sorted. She tried yelling over at him: "I can make you a green one, if you want?" while gesturing at her crown, and was surprised when her voice worked. Why was she so strangely anxious??
Anyway. She slid her lipgloss out of her pocket and smoothed some more on. Fake it til you make it, yeah? "OOOH!" FREE HATS? Char immediately leaned over and took one from her dormmate and put it right on.
"This is my cousin Bastien!" She informed her. JUST so she knew. CHAR's cousin. Quote:

"What do you think the headmistress will tell us on our first day at school?" Genny thought out loud. "Dad told me not to die." "YOUR DAD told ME not to die TOO!" Charlotte chimed in helpfully. And you know what? So far she had NOT died. Things were going WELL. Quote:
Originally Posted by Nearly Headless Nick Up up UUUUUP the ghost went. Right up through the middle of the Gryffindor table in his usual ceremonial manner and with en especially proud look upon his semitransparent features. Even his ruff seemed a bit more plump than usual - and that was because it most certainly was. Extra fluff per victorious term. "GOOD EVENING, GRYFFINDORS!" he trumpeted complete with puffed out chest. "Welcome to our newly sorted, those lucky enough to have been granted the right by the Sorting Hat to join the ranks of the wizarding world's most brave of heart! I am Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington at your service. Resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower."
To conclude, he offered the table a gentleman's bow from the waist. He need not be careful this evening about his head wobbling too much as his ruff was more than sufficient enough to keep it in place. Okay but it was WAY funner when Nearly Headless Nick's head actually came off. Char was impatient when he started talking and didn't care about the ruff. He talked a lot and there wasn't a single thing she hadn't heard before.
Char watched and held her breath as he bowed but NOPE it stayed ON. HIS HEAD STAYED ON. So she decided to speak up. "Hey Mr Nearly-Headless Nick! PLEASE show us what you can do with your head, its SO FUNNY!" And the FIRST YEARS NEEDED TO KNOW.
And speaking of first years, Liv was up! Charlotte watched as Olivia Phillips was called and she sat and got the hat on and.... and... GRYFFINDOR!!!
AND ALSO HOLY MOLY! LIV WAS A GRYFFINDOR TOO! THIS WAS AMAZING! Char went ahead and joined RIGHT ON IN on the little victory dance she saw Liv doing.
Maybe Gryffindor would be kind of amazing after all! MAYBE ZANDER ADAIR WAS RIGHT!
