 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
After a somewhat unpleasant train ride, Fiyero was hoping the sorting ceremony would improve his mood, or at least distract him. His eyes scanned the Great Hall for his cousins, one at the Ravenclaw table, one at the Slytherin, and the remaining two at the Gryffindor table. One of his Gryffindor cousins caught his eye with an encouraging wave, while the other shot him a look that said, You'd better end up in Gryffindor or I'll never speak to you!
Fiyero was hoping for Gryffindor himself, but he supposed Ravenclaw or Slytherin wouldn't be too bad. At least he knew people there. Though if the train ride was any indication of how his sorting would go, he'd probably end up in Hufflepuff, the one house where he didn't know a single person - not to mention the fact the his grandma found Hufflepuffs "unexceptional" and would probably disown him if he went there!
"Jones, Fiyero Keyne!"a voice called, jerking him out of his thoughts. He inwardly groaned at the sound of his full name. Apparently no one had told the teacher in charge that he preferred to be called Fiy...
He was keenly aware of the eyes turned to him as he made his way to the stool at the front of the room, putting the battered old hat on his head. It barely had time to flop over his eyes before it shouted
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Fiy's two Gryffindor cousins went crazy. Zarina cheered so loudly that he was surprised she hadn't lost any house points yet, while Killian shot their Ravenclaw and Slytherin relatives a smug look. Wow, that was fast, Fiy thought as he hurried to join his new house, but he supposed it didn't matter how long it had taken the hat. The important thing was that he was a Gryffindor!
