 YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Skylar had anticipated what was to come for YEARS before she was actually ushered forth into the Great Hall amongst her fellow first years. The perks of having older siblings and parents and extended family and friends telling you EVERYTHING you needed to know plus more. But no matter how many stories they told of the castle and the train ride and the sorting process, nothing could compare to actually finally being here herself. The anxiety for where she was destined to be for her next seven years. She hoped it would be with Hattie or Hazen, but she'd be okay with Vivian whom she just met too because for one, the girl had MARSHMALLOWS.
Gazing around at the great hall - up at the magnificent ceiling - behind her at the staff dais with the quite large cat sitting up there - Skylar wondered how long this could take.... And just as she wondered, it was then that she heard her name:
Diggory, Skylar Natasha
Did they HAVE to use her full name? Well this was it. The moment of truth. Would her Hufflepuff Perfect Prefect Parents produce a third Ravenclaw?
Sitting down on the stool, Skylar waited anxiously as the hat got placed over her head and fell instantly to cover her eyes. Uh, can't see anything? But she supposed that was kind of the point of it.
Hmm, another Diggory ... very interesting... you've got a ready mind, I see. Curious one you are. You've got this spirit in you. You'll do anything for your family and friends, I see...
Duh. I love my family. SO where do you see me doing well? She wanted to know. Plus she was getting hungry.
But also not very patient... but you've got this ambition to shine. You want to be seen and heard. Yes... I know just where to put you...
Slytherin!
Staring blindly as the hat was removed from her head, Skylar blinked a few times to regain her sense of balance before hopping off the stool and heading towards her new house table. One away from where her parents shined. One away from her siblings. One where apparently she was destined to make her choices and journey and could shine, as the hat said.
