Aurora was dreading this moment. Another of along line of Ravendels in Gryffindor House. She watched as each new student took their turn at the hat until finally she heard, "Ravendel, Aurora," called. Here she went, to the same fate as every other Ravendel.

She walked up and resolutely waited as the hat was put on her head. And then a voice whispered in her ear, "Don't want to be in Gryffindor, eh? You are rather adventurous, you know. Loyalty is there as well, but I don't see a hint of ambition. Don't know what you are yet? Well, I can help with that. Let's put all that intelligence and imagination in a place that will help you discover who you truly are. The best place for you is RAVENCLAW!" The last word came out loud and clear for everyone to hear.

Everyone in the hall was clapping, but her friend from the train, Rebecca, was clapping loudest of all. She had already been sorted into Ravenclaw, so Aurora was very happy to go and sit down next to her new friend.
