It was awkward standing amongst the little first years when you were fifteen years old, waiting to get sorted. He had been curious as to how the sorting would work but he never asked anyone about it. With these kind of things he liked being suprised. And when the sorting hat appeared he had definitely been surprised.

Just put on the hat and thats it? He had thought that they had to atleast show they had magical abilities and didnt just...came here by accident... How funny would that be? Then again, he knew nothing about Hogwarts itself and he couldnt wait to check out the library and read more about it.

He looked startled when his name was called and pretended that no one was looking as he made his way to the front. He sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his head. "Hmm, lets see... Bravery and loyalty are there, you like knowledge but aren't thirsty for it.. Yes..yes... Oh! You'll do great in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, yes you would but i see that you dont mind which house you get...so....

RAVENCLAW!!"

Ravenclaw? That was the same house as his compartment friend in the train! Mason grinned proudly as he walked over to his new home.
